The Hair Salon that Failed

A new salon opened here in Fukuoka a few months back. The name made me laugh every time I saw the sign. Ahhhh, good times, good times.

Ball Hair salon in Japan

Unfortunately it seems like they were open for a few weeks and then closed up shop or moved. I’m not sure why, but the prices were comparable or a bit cheaper than other hair salons in the area.

    my hubby did some business cards and the sign for a hair salon called “oops hair”..how’s that for a name???? even hubby was going…”is that ok…….?” LOL

    JYankee - That’s a funny name. It sounds like an ad for people that are balding. “Try our salon, 20 minutes later… oops hair!” By the way, I like your new blog. Now I can leave comments! It was tough on blogspot because I’m often times shown Japanese by default.
